Safety and Your Fireplace
Please Follow These Important
Child Safety Precautions and
Recommendations,
• Parts of your Valor Fireplace become
extremely hot while in operation.
• The glass viewing window
temperature can
exceed 500 F
at full capacity.
Momentary contact
with a hot glass
surface can cause
a severe burn, even if the fireplace
is operating at reduced heating
capacity.
• The glass window will remain hot
for an extended period of time after
the fireplace has been turned off.
Ensure that children are prevented
from touching the fireplace during the
cool down period.
• Toddlers and Young Children
must be closely supervised at all
times when they are in the same
room as the operating fireplace. They
lack full awareness of danger and
rely on your protection. Toddlers,
in particular, do not have the motor
skills and response reflexes to
withdraw in the event of accidental
contact with a hot surface.
• A physical barrier is strongly
recommended if there are young
children, or at-risk individuals in the
house. Install an approved after-
market safety gate to keep toddlers,
young children and other at-risk
individuals a safe distance from the
fireplace.
• Keep the remote control handset
out of reach of children at all
times. A wall mount storage holster
is provided with your remote control
handset.
• Ensure that the fireplace, including
the pilot light, is completely turned
off when children are present and
close supervision and safety barriers
are not available—see page 8 of
Owner’s Information section.
• If the fireplace is not going to be used
for the summer or any extended
period of time, remove the batteries
from the remote control handset
and receiver. It is recommended that
batteries are replaced annually in any
event—see page 7.
Please Read and Carefully Follow all Safety Warnings and
Operating Instructions Contained in Your Owners Manual
(Replacement Manuals are available by contacting our service department at
1-800-468-2567 or visit www.valorfireplaces.com).
Safety and Your Fireplace
!

55
Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time
When operating your new fireplace for the first time,
some vapors may be released due to the burning of
curing compounds used in the manufacture of the
appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could
cause the flames to be the full height of the firebox, or
even slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation.
It is also possible that these vapors could set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room. After
a few hours use, the vapors will have disappeared and
the flames will be at their normal height.
Flame Supervision Device
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device
incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas flow unless manually lighting the pilot.
See full lighting instructions on page 15 of this manual.
Owner’s Information
Performance of LPG appliances may be affected
by the quality of commercial gas supplied in
your area.

information regarding the safe operation of your
fireplace as well as maintenance instructions.
Read carefully BEFORE operating your fireplace
and pay special attention to the SAFETY
WARNINGS.
A heating gas appliance does require safe handling
and for this reason, we very strongly recommend that
no children be allowed to touch the fireplace and its
controls at all times. Do install a screen or barrier
in front of the fireplace to protect your children
against severe burns.

Cleaning
Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral deposits
One of the by-products of the combustion process in
a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a
white film on the ceramic glass viewing door.
The composition of the deposit varies widely with loca-
tion and time. It believed to be associated with the vary-
ing sulfur content of the gas. You may have the problem
intermittently.
We have consulted with ceramic glass manufactur-
ers and they cannot give us a definitive solution to this
problem. Dealers have tried various cleaning products
with varying results. The following are recommenda-
tions only and are not meant to guarantee results.
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Miles Industries’
control and is not covered under warranty.
• Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice
the buildup (white film). If the film is left for a longer
period of time, it will bake on. It is then much harder,
if not impossible, to remove.
• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic
glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the
immediate effect of compromising the strength of the
glass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
• Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the
glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most
paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to
ceramic glass and should be avoided.
• Our dealers have had good results from the
products listed below. We cannot, however,
guarantee the results of these products.
• BRASSO, POLISH PLUS by KELKEM, COOK TOP CLEAN
CREME by ELCO, WHITE OFF by RUTLAND, TURTLE WAX
DO NOT CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT!
Always securely replace the window before lighting.
If broken, the glass pane may only be replaced
as a complete window unit as supplied by the
manufacturer.
To remove the window for cleaning:
1. Unhook the window
baffle located on top
of the window frame.
2. Turn the top two
spring-loaded window
bolts through 90
degrees to release
the window from the
firebox.
3. Remove the bottom
two spring-loaded
window bolts.
4. Carefully lift the window away. Keep the window,
window baffle, and bolts in a safe place.
To refit the window:
1. Slide the window inside the appliance case and rest
it on the firebox front bottom tabs. Refit the bottom
two bolts. The bolts should be screwed in securely.
2. Refit the top two bolts securing by turning them
through 90 degrees.
3. Hook the window baffle to the top of the window
frame. Be careful not to hook it onto the firebox
frame—see image below and page 38.
4. Grab the top of the window and baffle and pull them
forward and release to check that the window opens
slightly and returns confirming the good function of
the spring-loaded mechanism.
5. Similarly check the bottom of the window by pulling
it forward and releasing.
6. Apply light hand pressure against the window frame
sides to bed in the window seal.
Owner’s Information
IMPORTANT: To ensure a safe operation, ensure that
the spring-loaded mechanism functions properly.

Rock fuel bed
A black discoloration may form over time at the front
bottom of the 6-rock original fuel bed; this deposit
can be burned off by running the fireplace on a low
to medium setting fire for 30 to 45 minutes. This
discoloration is unavoidable and will re-form again.

Soot or dust can be brushed from the ceramic rocks
and firebox walls using a soft brush. Dust can also
be removed from the burner using a soft brush after
removing the ceramic logs. When cleaning, make sure
that no particles are brushed into the slots of the burner.
Checks
A periodic check of the pilot and burner flames should
be made. Check after the fire has been on for at least
30 minutes. The pilot flame must cover the tip of the
thermocouple probe. The main burner flame pattern will
vary from appliance to appliance depending on the type
of installation and climatic conditions.

instructions further on in this manual
for the installation.
Batteries
Low battery signal: see page 13.
BEFORE changing the batteries, turn off the valve
using the wall switch’s On/Off button.
The appliance uses four 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries for
its remote control receiver and one 9 V alkaline battery
for its handset. The batteries should last one to two
seasons, depending on usage. Removing the batteries
in the off-season will extend the battery life. Should the
batteries loose power, the control may be operated by
manually turning the control knob at the valve or by
turning off the valve at the switch.
To replace the batteries in the remote control
receiver:
1. The receiver is located to the left of the valve and it
is retained to the firebox by a Velcro tab. Grab the
receiver and pull it out from its location.
